  • Anyone elase reaching near 100 grams of protein daily that can provide a sample menu?
  • I have a pea protein powder. Have not considered adding it to soups and oreads. But don't really use a lot of dips and spreads. I'm trying to learn to like peanut utter. But thanks for the suggestions, will give it a shot.
  • Bumping back up
  • Road rage is crazy! Half the time you would never even encounter these people again, yet one episode of bad judgement can have SEVERE consequences. Thank goodness the guy didn't have a gun becasue he sounds crazy enough to have used it. Hell for that matter, thank goodness Tom didn't have a gun himself or it could have…
  • I had to take it easy yesterday because I was super sore. Decided to go for a walk, still uncomfortable. Was going to d a half hour but decided to do an hour, since I needed two workouts. But feel a little guilty because still not quite 2 separate workouts. So think I will do a triple one of the remaining days. But I'm…
  • hee hee. I had a link to this website caleld deraling for dummies, but it seems to no longer be working. But that is a commonly used derailment tactic, among many others. That's similar tosaying "I was just playing devil's advocate" when that was obviously not the case. Some do that, but not all who claim it are. :happy:
  • LOL, you would think I never read it. I promise, i did. :happy: OK, and I lied about leaving the site alone until after work, maybe I am officially a MFP Addict. Anyway, who knows why they removed it (did they really go back and edit it?). I cannot find the original article or reference to the original article that had mug…
  • No argument there, well except for "thug from the ghetto". I'll take hardened criminal, or serial killer, or garden variety murderer. But let's leave that there. I understand the reasoning or differing penalties, but I agree with that all life should be valued the same. Amybe make it a separate charge, or is it normally a…
  • That's interesting if they actually went back and edited the article and removed that information. I would be curious as to their reasoning, was it really because they were black?. But I don't see why the race would be relevant unless as the above poster said, they needed assistance in looking for them. But the race alone…
  • I'm curious also, especially if they went back and edited to remove. But if they were just reporting the crime and was not seeking assistance in finding the perpetrators, then I guess it would not be necessary. If they already had the mug shots, then looks like they already had them (unless it was an old one)
  • Definately wish the media would just reports the facts and leave out the opinions, thoughts, feelings, analysis, etc. I liked it when I had no idea what political affiliation the report had. I'm quite capable of critical thinking. But alas, I get to use that primarily to discern the facts from the opinions. People complain…
  • Sorry, I am with Rock on this. I don't see how the article, the paste from Wikepedia, and the stats in Chicago ties in with the prosecution of HATE crimes. Higher crime rates tend to be linked with unemployment and poor wages. Most times for those committing crimes, it is a matter of opportunity. So in the case on so…
  • There are not a lot of HATE crimes prosecuted. It is difficult to prove unless there is something blatantly racist. So I am OK with however the stats play out, unless it can be shown that despite race being able to be proven as a motivator for the crime that it was ignored. A lot of us hold racial prejudice regardless of…
  • Ohhhkkkaaaaayyyy..... :ohwell: This seems a little bit more personal for you than just this case. Listen, if you are a racist, want to be a racist, hey, it's a free country. Even if you are, I would still debate with you. :smooched: I think I missed where anyone called you a racist, then there is the whole Obama thing. I…
  • Day 2, no am work out. O well, will ave to make it up at work again.
  • I'm so not a morning person. The only exercise I managed to do this morning was repeatedly hitting the snooze button. SOOO, had to make it up at work. Did 30 mintues on the stairs.
  • And yet you joined in with information you received from the media. If you are smart enough to be discerning and critical about second hand information you receive from the media and whomever else, why can't everyone else? Simply because they form a different opinion from you, doesn't mean they have no critical thinking…
  • Thanks for answering my question. I just wanted to know if it was something gun owners do, as I am not one. I have some friends that are getting one, but was just curious. The pic does look humorous, gun still a bit intimidating, but you seemed to be playing a character to me. I went to a gun range once and practice…
  • I think we have almost complete agreement. I'm sure if Martin had shot Zimmerman I would be saying that just because someone verbally harassed you or even pushed you doesn't mean you had the right to shoot them. I see you have a gun in your profile. Do you actually walk around with your gun in a holster on your person? I'm…
  • Agreed, but still think he is the attacker even if Martin laid hands on him first, and unless there is a witness that saw that, all we would have is Zimmerman's word which is not evidence. Are you allowed to strike first if someone else is coming at you aggressively and you feel they will strike you? If someone swings…
  • I got you, I understand what you are saying. And I do think we mostly agree. The only point of contention is that I believe Zimmerman would be the aggressor, regardless. Oh and I believe he could legally be charged with second degree murder, but I don't know if they would be able to get a conviction without a super tight…
  • You make a good argument, but I still contend that even if Martin made first physical contact, Zimmerman is still the aggressor and culpable. Zimmerman purposefully pursued Martin in a hostile manner. I say hostile because he pursued him with a gun and with the attitude that he would not get away. Whether or not you…
  • Lol, I don't know. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Lol "We know the candidate Barack Obama what he was like, the anti-war goverment nigg—the uh—..."
  • I know this wasn't in response to me, but I don't get it. Surely you are not calling yourself a racist? And I didn't see anyone mention Obama, or did I miss it? A little confused... But I would be curious to know why she said that or have her elaborate what she meant. I'd like to understand her point of view.
  • Calling someone a racist doesn't make them a racist. If you are, you are, if you are not, you are not. But it's an interesting concept that calling someone a racist could cause racism, will have to ponder that. But I'm being a bit cheeky. However, if someone is a racist, they will reveal themselves through statements and…
  • will have to look at this when I get home
  • That's what i figured. AND I LOVE THE GROUP! It was such a good idea. I love lively debates. But this might kill this debate, huh?
  • Here you accuse someone of inciting hate Yet you attack this lady for citing hate on here . Hmmm why is that? Could she not be speaking of the same hate that you are? Or are you profiling? :wink: :flowerforyou: Or, maybe the hate she is talking about are the snide comments, the underhanded insults, and just plain accusing…
  • Nope, not sick to death of it. I think it can depend on what the perceived underlying purpose of your statement /response might be. You see some people can offer what seems to be empathy simply to "shut it down", dismiss the conversation, or invalidate their experience. Other times it's like some posters already state, no…
